The hymn book in my primary school was Morning has Broken (orange cover with a yellow circle/sun IIRC)
So it has stuck with me even though I have been a devout atheist for more than 35 years

Johannes was on The Wheel tonight and he wasn't very good, didn't know any Muppets!

Johannes was on The Wheel tonight and he wasn't very good, didn't know any Muppets! I probably couldn't name more than two either, never been my thing! He wasn't very good at the rest either though.

I think we've missed Rhys Stephenson being announced. No, me neither. In my defence, I don't watch much children's TV these days.

I know the answer to the question "who?" is "use Google", but I really do think I know fewer contestants every year. I've known two announced so far.

I know 4 (didn't know AJ or Ruys, although I had seen AJ on The Wheel, so maybe I can say 4.5)

Sara might make Jacqui Smith look like a real mover. I know she has made a lot of money selling crafting supplies but has zero performance experience.

But how will Dan Walker cope with the Sunday result show? He is famous for refusing to work Sundays

Oh I know. Hence my participation in the regular spoiler discussions
But it makes a mockery of their continued pretence about it.
He is willingly participating in the lie.

They don't really pretend it's live anymore, everyone knows it isn't.
Scraping the barrel does seem the appropriate description for the calibre of "celebrity" this year - not sure I would use that word to describe even half of them...

Don't we say that every year, every Big Brother, Jungle show etc I don't as Strictly is the only reality show I watch! Greg Wise is a decent signing though, at last!

Greg Wise has potential to do well. His looks won't hurt him with voters...

Greg Wise a very good signing for Strictly.
I'll have to watch it on playback this year though so I can always skip over Dan Walker. Isn't it bad enough he dragged down their Olympic coverage.

12th to be announced after Eastenders at 8pm, so assuming it's a cast member.
Not sure how many we're expecting in total?

We haven't got a sports person or a person with a disability yet - two groups normally represented in the line up.
I think we will get 15 or 16 in the end. They need to factor in at least one couple having to withdraw...
Also Nina Wadia is a (former) Eastenders actor so I doubt we will get another one

Was wrong about the EastEnders thing
No.12 on the list is Rose Ayling-Ellis from EastEnders. She will be the first deaf contestant on the show

I think the line up this year is one of the most uninspiring they have ever had, I can barely muster any excitement for it and I can't remember feeling this way about it.
To be fair though I've still enjoyed the series in the past where I've not thought much to the celebs beforehand in the end, you go on the journey with them and get to know them and root for them.
